If you’re in the market for a compact car, then you’ve probably considered both the Chevrolet Aveo and Dodge Caliber. We’ve decided to put them head to head.

Coming in around $5,000 cheaper, the Chevy Aveo has the advantage out of the gate. On top of that, the Aveo offers better mileage (27mpg city versus 24mpg city) and a superior green rating.

However, creature comforts are lacking in the Aveo (no options for a CD player, MP3 player, or even an AM/FM radio!). The Dodge Caliber offers an array of standard and optional Entertainment, Communication & Navigation devices – so if you spend a considerable amount of time driving, the Caliber might have a serious advantage for you.

Both cars perform as one could reasonably expect. The Chevy Aveo handles slightly better, but at the sacrifice of size (and interior space). Ultimately, there is no clear cut winner amongst these two compacts. But if you’re buying a primary vehicle, we’d lean towards the Dodge.

With an array of high-end features, reliability, and a solid reputation, the Toyota Land Cruiser is a favorite in the SUV market. But how does the Land Cruiser compare against the Chevrolet Suburban and Ford Expedition? Let’s find out…

While the Chevy Suburban and Ford Expedition output slightly more than 300 horsepower with a 5.3L and 5.4L V8 respectively, the Land Cruiser has a far more competent 381 Hp 5.7L V8. (Note: the Chevy Suburban has an optional 366 Hp 6L V8.)

All three competitors are equipped with a 6-speed automatic transmission, yielding average fuel economy – 12-14 mpg for city and 18 mpg for highway. Although Chevrolet Suburban comes equipped with the most luxury features, it falls behind the Land Cruiser and Expedition in terms of ride quality and off-road features. Surprisingly, the Toyota and Ford SUVs also out-tow the Suburban.
